D'Addario NW056 XL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Single String — .056
Heavy Bottom, XL Construction
The D'Addario NW056 is a single .056 electric guitar string from the XL Nickel Wound family - the round-wound, nickel-plated formulation that has been the most-used electric string in the world for decades. At .056, it's a heavy bottom string ideal for custom sets, drop tunings on 6-string electrics, and as the low E or low B replacement on 7-string sets.
Reliable XL Tone
Round wound with precision-applied nickel-plated steel over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core, the NW056 delivers the same bright, articulate tone players know from full XL sets - now in a single-string format for custom gauging.
Construction
- Gauge: .056.
- Core: Hexagonal high-carbon steel.
- Wrap: Round-wound nickel-plated steel.
